Well, mtr is certainly not a browser request. It's merely a ping on
intermediate hosts. So it's easy to reproduce.
So I'm not sure that you are on the right track.

For a more interactive discussion, they are at #debian-admin on OFTC.
But I have a hard time believing that the Debian infrastructure is at
fault here.
If you want to go further, you should probably also seek the help of
Firefox developers since it's behaving badly compared to chromium in the
same (possibly problematic) network environment.
